Global Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 67330 million in 2025 to US$ 123110 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2025 to 2031.

Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) are a class of compounds produced by the esterification reaction of fatty acids with methanol. Fatty acids are derived from biomass resources such as animal and vegetable fats, and waste cooking oil. FAME is the main component of biodiesel, offering advantages such as renewability, low pollution, and good combustion performance, making it considered an ideal alternative to traditional petroleum diesel.

The production and application of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) are closely intertwined with the energy crisis, environmental pollution and the pursuit of sustainable development. Its history can be traced back to the end of the 19th century, scientists have found that vegetable oils and alcohols under the action of catalysts can be transesterification reaction to produce fatty acid esters, which laid the theoretical foundation for the birth of FAME. However, due to the cheap and abundant oil resources at the time, FAME was not taken seriously. Until the outbreak of the oil crisis in the 1970s, the global energy supply was tight, prompting people to re-examine the excessive dependence on fossil fuels and actively seek alternative energy sources. As a potential alternative fuel, biodiesel has re-entered people's vision, and FAME as the main component of biodiesel, its production has also begun to attract attention. Since the 1990s, with the increasing global awareness of environmental protection and the continuous progress of biodiesel technology, FAME's production and application have ushered in a period of rapid development. Especially in Europe, the government has introduced a series of policies to support the promotion and application of biodiesel, which has promoted the rapid expansion of FAME production scale. At the same time, FAME's production technology is also constantly innovated, from the initial acid-base catalytic method, gradually developed more efficient and environmentally friendly production methods such as biological enzyme method and supercritical method. The application of these new technologies not only improves the production efficiency of FAME, but also reduces the environmental pollution in the production process. FAME's raw material sources are also increasingly diversified, no longer limited to the original vegetable oil, but expanded to animal fat, waste oil and other biomass resources. This trend of diversification of raw materials, on the one hand, helps to reduce the production cost of FAME, on the other hand, also provides a new way to solve the problem of agricultural and industrial by-products, in line with the development concept of circular economy. Using waste oil and other by-products to produce FAME can not only turn waste into treasure, reduce environmental pollution, but also reduce the dependence on traditional vegetable oils and avoid food security problems caused by biodiesel production.
